* December is unusually due to the higher income and expenses (now every month has its reason to be unusual).

* About $600 was spent on Christmas presents. Mostly for parents and myself :-)

* About $500 was spent on Christmas travel, including plane tickets and train tickets. For some reason, travel this time costs more than before. I guess plane tickets have been going up.

* The extra money left over will be most likely going toward credit card loans.

    "Every month is unusual..."

    Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Every month seems to be "out of the ordinary" for me... it's hard to tell what ordinary is.
